As a result, any aortic root dilatation should be seriously taken into account, as it could become a fatal aortic dissection.
12.
There is no histologic evidence of an annular structure anteriorly, where the mitral valve leaflet is contiguous with the posterior aortic root.
13.
The world's first valve-sparing aortic root replacement was done by Dr . Tirone David at Toronto General Hospital in 1992.
14.
Whether aortic root diameters that are relatively large for body surface area but still well within normal limits imply a risk for progressive dilatation remains unproven.
15.
It involved training in Aortic root surgery, Thoraco abdominal aortic surgery, Ross procedure, Redo-coronary surgery and Valve surgery . ( 1995-1996 ).
16.
When solution is introduced into the aortic root ( with an aortic cross-clamp on the distal aorta to limit systemic circulation ), this is called antegrade cardioplegia.
17.
Women with Marfan syndrome, then, should receive a thorough assessment prior to conception, and echocardiography should be performed every six to 10 weeks during pregnancy, to assess the aortic root diameter.
18.
Marfan's syndrome results from mutations in the " FBN1 " gene, defective production of the protein fibrillin-1, and a number of physical abnormalities including aneurysm of the aortic root.
19.
Later that same year, while performing an aortic root aortography, Mason Sones, a pediatric cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, noted that the catheter had accidentally entered the patient's right coronary artery.
20.
Dissections that propagate towards the iliac bifurcation ( with the flow of blood ) are called anterograde dissections and those that propagate towards the aortic root ( opposite of the flow of blood ) are called retrograde dissections.
